Fall Red and Golden RaspberriesOur raspberries ripen over about a 6-8 week period beginning in early August. They begin slowly, then as the season progresses, more and more fruit ripen at the same time. The peak of our raspberry season (when the greatest number of fruit is ripe at the same time) is about the third week of August thru mid September, depending on the weather.

How do we have raspberries so late in the summer and into the fall? Our raspberries are fall raspberries, (also called ever-bearing). We prune them for a fall crop only, producing fruit in late summer and early fall when temperatures are generally a little cooler and more pleasant for picking than the normal summer raspberry season.

Cut your own Flowersfrom Catherine's Flower Garden. We have a variety of kinds to make beautiful bouquets. The flowers are sold by the bouquet and larger quantites for those looking to make arrangements for weddings and other occasions. If you are a bride-to-be and looking for an economical solution to bridal flowers, consider cutting your own flowers and enlisting your bridesmaids help to make the flower arrangements and bouquets. Make it a fun bridesmaid event! Our flowers are available to cut from early July until a hard frost. The types of flowers available vary thru the summer season.

Thornless BlackberriesOur blackberry plants have NO THORNS. That's why they're called Thornless, and picking is painless. There are berries to pick from your knees to as high as you can reach on the neatly trellised rows of blackberries. In between the rows we keep the grass mowed like a lawn for easy walking. We want you to enjoy picking the berries as much as you enjoy eating them. The blackberries are large and delicious. The picking season normally starts about the last week of July and lasts until about mid September. The peak of the season runs most of the month of August.

BlueberriesOur pick your own blueberry patch is irrigated and netted. The pick your own blueberry season begins in early July and lasts until about mid August. The peak of the season usually extends from about the 2nd week of July thru the end of the month. Blueberries are easy and fun to pick. You can't beat fresh ripe blueberries right from the plant. Freezing blueberries is very easy. Check our Recipe page for information on how to freeze them.
